What is the mechanism of action of this treatment?

Common treatments for solid tumors include chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Chemotherapy kills rapidly dividing cells, including cancer cells, while targeted therapies inhibit tumor growth by focusing on specific molecular targets such as proteins or genes. Immunotherapy, such as pembrolizumab, boosts the body's immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells. These mechanisms are vital for solid tumor patients as they provide diverse strategies to combat cancer, potentially improving treatment efficacy and allowing for more personalized approaches.

What side effects are associated with this type of intervention?

Common treatments for solid tumors, such as chemotherapy and immunotherapy, have a range of side effects. Chemotherapy can cause myelosuppression, leading to anemia, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia, as well as gastrointestinal issues like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Other side effects include fatigue, hair loss, and increased risk of infections. Immunotherapy, including agents like pembrolizumab, can lead to immune-related adverse events such as pneumonitis, colitis, hepatitis, endocrinopathies, and skin reactions. Specific side effects of NDI-101150 are not detailed, but it is important to monitor for both common and severe reactions when undergoing treatment.

What prior FDA approvals exist?

The FDA has approved several drugs for the treatment of solid tumors, particularly focusing on immunotherapy and targeted therapy. Pembrolizumab, an anti-PD-1 antibody, is approved for various solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer and melanoma. Atezolizumab, another immune checkpoint inhibitor targeting PD-L1, is approved for non-small cell lung cancer and renal cell carcinoma. Additionally, combination therapies such as pembrolizumab with chemotherapy have shown efficacy in treating advanced solid tumors. These approvals highlight the trend towards using immunotherapy and combination regimens in the management of solid tumors.

What other types of research exist?

Promising novel alternatives to NDI-101150 for solid tumor patients include: 1) Pembrolizumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, which has shown efficacy in combination with chemotherapy for non-small-cell lung cancer and other solid tumors. 2) IdB 1016, a silybin-phosphatidylcholine complex, which is being evaluated for its antiangiogenic activity in ovarian cancer. 3) Atezolizumab, another immune checkpoint inhibitor, used in combination with chemotherapy for non-small-cell lung cancer. 4) Nivolumab, often combined with ipilimumab, showing promise in various solid tumors including renal cell carcinoma and gliomas. These alternatives are in various stages of clinical trials and have shown potential in treating solid tumors.

Summary

This trial is testing a new drug called NDI-101150, alone or with pembrolizumab, in adults with advanced cancers. It aims to find the safest dose and see how well it works. Pembrolizumab helps the immune system attack cancer cells and is used to treat various cancers.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors who have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks, are willing to undergo tumor biopsies if needed, and have recovered from previous therapies. They should not have had cancer treatment in the last 4 weeks and must be in good physical condition (ECOG status 0-1). People with recent malignancies, severe allergies to monoclonal antibodies, untreated brain cancers, significant heart or lung conditions, or uncontrolled medical issues cannot join.

What is being tested?

The study aims to find the safest high dose (MTD) and best Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of NDI-101150 alone or combined with pembrolizumab. It will look into how these treatments affect patients' bodies (pharmacokinetics), their action on tumors (pharmacodynamics), safety profiles, and initial effectiveness against solid tumors.

What are the potential side effects?

Possible side effects include reactions related to immune system activation such as inflammation in various organs including lungs (pneumonitis), infusion-related reactions similar to allergic responses during drug administration, fatigue due to treatment burden on the body's resources, potential blood disorders affecting cell counts or clotting ability.
